Prenatal alcohol and cannabinoid co-exposure increases ethanol-seeking in adult offspring and produces sex-dependent medial prefrontal cannabinoid receptor 1 expression.

This study shows that prenatal exposure to both alcohol and cannabinoids increases ethanol-seeking behavior in adult male offspring and alters cannabinoid receptor expression in the medial prefrontal cortex.

Trump Administration Impacts on Early Career Scientists and How To Fight Back

This paper surveys early career researchers impacted by Trump administration policies, finding funding cuts threaten their careers and lead to consideration of leaving science.

Early Life Outcomes of Prenatal Exposure to Alcohol and Synthetic Cannabinoids in Mice

This study examines the effects of prenatal alcohol and synthetic cannabinoid co-exposure on mouse offspring survival, physical development, and neurobehavioral outcomes, finding increased mortality and sex-specific behavioral impairments.

Reduced fetal cerebral blood flow following prenatal drug exposure predicts perinatal mortality.

This study shows that prenatal exposure to both alcohol and cannabinoids in mice reduces fetal cerebral blood flow more than either drug alone and predicts perinatal mortality.

Moderate prenatal alcohol exposure modifies sex-specific CRFR1 activity in the central amygdala and anxiety-like behavior in adolescent offspring.

Factors of sex and age dictate the regulation of GABAergic activity by corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 in the medial sub-nucleus of the central amygdala.

The paper investigates age and sex effects on CRFR1-regulated GABAergic activity in the CeM of rats, finding age-specific differences in mIPSC frequency modulation by CRFR1 agonist and antagonist.
